Develop Best-Practice Interpersonal Communication Skills with Crucial Conversations

Everyday we have conversations at home and at work. Sometimes these conversations are neutral and communicate simplistic information such as "I ate breakfast this morning; how about you?" But what happens when these conversations turn crucial? How you perform when stakes get high can determine the outcome of your career advancement or even more importantly - the outcome of your personal relationships. Unfortunately, when conversations become crucial many people have been "trained" to act with silence (not expressing information that is essential to a productive conversation) and/or violence (arguing with belligerent or even threatening language).

Learn more about a basic interpersonal communication skill you would like to master with the New York Times bestseller, Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High. This bestselling book can teach you how to identify crucial conversations and decide when they are worth initiating.
